Making friends is a struggle for me too. Are there any groups on Meetup.com you could join in your area (if you're in the U.S.)? In my area there's a local movie group who goes and sees indie movies at the local indie movie theater, and then they socialize about it afterwards over coffee. Maybe you could check that out and see if there's a local group that interests you? Are you interested in any fandoms? Try the subreddit for that fandom. That's the great thing about reddit is that there's a sub for almost anything and people there love the same thing so they're easy to talk to.

The internet (here, or somewhere else on Reddit) is a great way to make an internet friend, at least. Someone to talk about who struggles with similar problems such as schizophrenia. I met an internet friend here on Reddit and we've been texting buddies on our phones for the past four years. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk, I'd love to be your friend! :)

Motivation is a huge thing for me, it's so hard for me to take a shower, or brush my teeth, or anything hygiene related or even life related. Before I go to work, I'll constantly play with the idea of calling in to avoid being around people.
